Public Safety Division - Policies - Reporting Crime and Emergencies


 
 

 

 

 
Crime or other emergency in progress: Students, employees and others are encouraged to report all criminal activity and emergencies occurring on campus. A report may be filed with a Public Safety Officer, appropriate personnel in the Public Safety Division. 

In emergency situations, 9-1-1 may be called first followed by an immediate notification to Public Safety.

Emergency

  • 58911 on campus
  • 623.935.8911 off campus

Non-Emergency

  • 58915 on campus
  • 623.935.8915 off campus

The importance of reporting all crime: suspected crime, unusual or suspicious activity to the CSD or a security authority cannot be over emphasized. The reports provide a basis for making timely warnings when a crime may present a threat to other members of the campus community and also assist the college in providing a full disclosure in the annual crime statistics report. In addition, such action by a victim or witness will assist in making the campus environment a safer place for the entire community.

Voluntary  confidential reporting: Estrella Mountain Community College does not have a policy or procedure that would allow a victim or witness to report crime on a voluntary and confidential basis. However, the CSD accepts and investigates all reported incidents, whether or not a victim or witness provides a name or other identifying information.

Confidential reporting to a Counselor: Estrella  Mountain Community College does not have a policy or procedure that encourages its professional counselors; if and when the counselor deems it appropriate, to inform the person being counseled of any procedures to report crime on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. Generally, when counselors do not have the permission of the victim, they can only report the occurrence of a number/statistic to the law enforcement authority.
